St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today the team has activated defensemen Marco Scandella and Scott Perunovich from injured reserve and placed forward Jake Neighbours on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.
Scandella will be available to play Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, while Perunovich was re-loaned to the Blues' AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds.
Neighbours will be re-evaluated in five weeks.

Scandella, 32, has missed all 56 games for the Blues this season after undergoing surgery on his right hip before the season. Overall, the Montreal, Quebec, native has appeared in 699 career regular-season NHL games, recording 160 points (48 goals, 112 assists) and 273 penalty minutes. Scandella was acquired by the Blues via trade from the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 18, 2020, in exchange for a second-round draft pick (2020) and a fourth-round draft pick (2021).
Neighbours, 20, has dressed in 30 games for the Blues this season, logging eight points (four goals, four assists) and nine penalty minutes. The Calgary, Alberta, native has also made 23 appearances for the Thunderbirds, recording 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) and two penalty minutes. Neighbours was drafted by the Blues in the first round, 26th overall, of the 2020 NHL Draft.
Perunovich, 24, was drafted by the Blues in the second round, 45th overall, of the 2018 NHL Draft. During his recent conditioning stint, Perunovich posted one assist in two games with Springfield. Last season, he recorded six assists and eight penalty minutes in 19 regular-season games and four assists in seven postseason games for the Blues. The Hibbing, Minnesota, native also tallied 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) and eight penalty minutes in 17 regular-season games for the Thunderbirds.
